tejek,

re:So your supposition that the ratio for any organization including the Supreme Court should overwhelmingly favor the men makes little sense.


My assertion is it (the court, not any) currently reflects the pool of qualified candidates. The current pool is about 20% women. Also from your job numbers it appears 44% of the work force is women. So I believe the court will be in between those ranges.

re:I can't believe we are even having this discussion

Of course you can't - you're a self righteous liberal who knows everything. How will you conduct open discussions of ideas or an honest look at numbers without bringing all your biases and baggage.

I said should, not an opinion but based on the assumption that government jobs will be consistent and reflect the current percentages. I also said it was the base or lowest number otherwise it would show a larger bias.
